I am teaming up with the National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) and the National Rifle Association (NRA) on their thirteenth annual Bill of Rights Essay Contest for college-bound female high school juniors and seniors. This year, the contest will be entitled “Freedom and Civic Virtues”.
In addition to receiving a $3,000 college scholarship, seven contest winners from across the nation will win an all-expenses-paid trip to NFWL’s Annual Conference (November 18-22, 2010) which will be held at The Ritz – Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. At the conference, winners will be able to network with, be mentored by and speak to hundreds of women lawmakers from across the United States.
Entries must be received or postmarked no later than July 30, 2010, after which an NFWL selection committee will judge each essay and determine the seven winners. The judges will primarily weigh the factors of storytelling, understanding of the Bill of Rights and original insight.
